Dietary changes can be magical! They can have a profound positive impact on our health, planet health, and animal ethics & welfare. Here are key dietary strategies to achieve these great benefits:

Prioritise Plant-Based Foods

• Increase Fruits and Vegetables: Focus on seasonal, locally-sourced produce.
• Emphasise Whole Grains, Legumes, Nuts, and Seeds: These are nutrient-dense, versatile, and have a lower environmental footprint compared to animal products.
• Eliminate Red and Processed Meat: Reducing consumption of beef and lamb enhances health and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

Adopt Sustainable Protein Sources 

• Switch to Plant-Based Proteins: Options like beans, lentils, tofu, and tempeh are more eco-friendly and better for our health!
   

Reduce Food Waste

• Plan Meals: Buy only what you need to minimise waste.
• Repurpose Leftovers: Get creative with surplus ingredients.
• Compost Food Scraps: Divert organic waste from landfills to reduce methane emissions.

Choose Environmentally Friendly Practices

• Opt for Organic or Pesticide-Free Produce: Reduces chemical runoff into ecosystems.
• Favour Local and Seasonal Foods: Cuts down on transportation emissions and supports local farmers. 

Limit Ultra-Processed Foods 

• Minimise Packaging Waste: Processed foods often come with single-use plastics.
• Choose Whole Foods: They require less energy to produce and are healthier. 

Practice Mindful Eating

• Eat Moderately: Avoid overeating to align food consumption with nutritional needs. 
• Support Food Equity: Advocate for policies that ensure access to healthy and sustainable food for everyone. 

Environmental Benefits

• Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Animal agriculture is a major emitter of methane and CO².
• Preserve Biodiversity: Reducing meat & dairy consumption can limit habitat destruction.
• Conserve Water: Plant-based diets use significantly less water than meat & dairy-heavy diets.
